HI guys well im thinking about getting WoW or War. Some of my friends from school play WoW so im not sure if i should tag along. I like both pve and pvp. Is it too late to start playing WoW do you think i should just wait for blizzard to make a new mmorpg or to get the new kotoro mmorpg?

If you are real good friends with them get WoW.To level from 1 to 80 will take you a while. Stay away from WAR. If you are not really good friends and just know them, wait for The Old Republic.

Warhammer is a lot of fun if you want PvP

Don't listen to the people who are saying wait for ToR, its at least a year away. anyone who thinks its coming out this year is totally fooling themselves and setting up for huge upset. IT WILL BE 2010 before its out.

Youll probably be finished with Warhammer before ToR is even out, even if you play it for a year.

You already have friends who are playing WoW and MMOs are all about the social aspect so I think that answers your question. WoW is a very solid game and a joy to play, especially with friends.

there is slowly less difference between WoW and WaR so unless you really like the mythos of one over the other than go for the one which your mates play the most.

Warhammer felt more forfilling in the end.. Mainly due to prefering real pvp in the first place..

WOW - PvE

WAR - PvP

It's as easy as that.

WoW for sure, warhammer turned in to a flavor of the month game, and thats it.

Most alot of the people who changed from wow to wh, turned back.

WAR is all about PvP....not much PvE.... and according to some figures, people are leaving WAR WoW is mostly about PvE....but it has lots of PvP too, which I found fun as well.... numbers grow, die down, grow, die down...but it's in the stratosphere compared to other games Some people say wait for The Old Republic...but that's still at LEAST one YEAR away....so I would go with WoW

Craptastic World RVR, Similar Battleground set up (though alot more of them) and some of the worst combat/ghosting I have ever seen in an MMO. WAR was hyped for PvP yet it still falls short. WoW? Unbeatable PvE, and somewhat "okish" PvP... granted not many PvP options, but its the most fluent combat. The Old Republic? Good Job waiting a yer for a game thats going to have bad combat and enphasis on roleplay in a TEAM/Multiplayer game ... thus the trademark of Bioware (Yes, I like Bioware... but they suck at making combat fun/fluent/balanced in thier single player games let alone an MMO.)

Out of those 2 i would pick warhammer, as you have mates in WoW you should probably go for that.

Warhammer is terrible, Warcraft is alright. :arrow:

Don't let the rabble fool you, there is nothing good about Warhammer online.

PVP isn't even fun the only innovation is that you get XP from it.

I'd be weary of WoW. It is a huge time sink and requires a significant and sustained effort to have any good epic gear. I played WoW from 2004 upon release till 2008... did the grand marshal hunter thing... things changed with BC, then changed again... don't play WoW for pvp - it is lacking, with so few battlegrounds and constant character balancing problems one gets the idea that Blizzard is a little confused. Lvl'ing up in WoW is admitidly fun. Once you hit lvl 80 - you aren't even close to being done, that is when the game begins and it will kill you.

Grinding instances (with a good guild) takes time... days, weeks... many hours especially if the group you're with hasn't done the instance before. This means it takes a long time to gear up, you have other classes needing items, loot systems (dkp, etc) which require you to spend time before you get an item... usually a lot of time - a priority system, you name it... these all make it very difficult to get a lot of the best stuff - and before you know it Blizzard releases a patch and makes your gear outdated.

Its a never ending grind which can be frustrated at times by the lack of PvP options - warsong, arathi basin, alterac valley - have been out since the beginning (nearly) with only eye of the storm and that new one on the beach... its just the same ole thing. They change things and change them often. If you want to have something to hold you over till something else comes along - get WoW, you'll have fun lvl'ing up your character... so many to choose from and so many quests and zones, its quite fun. Buyer beware, its addicting.

My advice, stop playing after you get to lvl 80 if you decide to go that far. Enjoy your time leveling up, and pvp at the lower lvl's. Oh, and play Horde.

Warhammer all the way. All I have to say is you haven't played warhammer until you've done a capital city siege. There's also massive battles at keeps.

Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, Alterac Valley, Strand of the Ancients, Lake Wintergrasp, Arenas: Ring of Trials, Ruins of Lordaeron, Circle of Blood, Dalaran Sewers, Ring of Valor

That's a lot for any newcomer, and all these still seem to last. I doubt there would be so many people still playing the game just for the PvE. Don't forget the world Arena tournament.

Only thing is, a game like WoW you've kinda missed the experience of raiding the latest dungeons (there was/is a lot of them) as they were released. That was one of the best things about the game. Levelling is still fun though I guess, especially with friends.

I hate World of Warcraft, one of the most overrated games of all time.

Every quest is so boring and is exactly the same. "Kill this many of this." "Kill that many of that."

Stupid.

They're both addictive as hell... I'd say WoW if you know how to correctly balance your playtime. DON'T forget your real friends or call out of work or miss school so you can play.

MMO's are dangerous to your social life, and to your personal health and well being. Just be careful.
